Hello,
pardon my newbie question, can GeoServer be used to map an indoor office (with hardware locations, user information, etc.), or are there better technical solutions?
What are the best practices in terms of creating maps (file format, accuracy, …), in this case?
Many thanks.
Philippe
Phillipe,
GeoServer since 2.2 provides EPSG:404000 for unreferenced mapping such as indoor maps. This CRS is in 2D metres; there are variants in feet and in 3D. I have not used GeoServer for this purpose, but I have used it for 3D mine coordinates using a custom CRS (WFS data delivery only, no mapping).

Here is one person's advice on how to use it in OpenLayers 3 (but note the typo: EPSG:4004000 should be EPSG:404000):

GeoServer is a great option because you get spatial support and SLD styling, plus integration with other open source and standards compliant tools. You can have a layer for your offices, and layers for all other spatially located features, and user information can be properties (by value or reference/link to another service).
I do not know anything about it, but earlier this year OGC released IndoorGML. This is likely to be massive overkill unless you want to build interoperable services. Nonetheless, it may be worth reading to learn about issues and nomenclature before you implement a straightforward solution with GeoServer simple features:

Is your map for internal use only (inside your organisation) or will you be exposing service endpoints?
Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi Ben,
thank you for your pointers.
The map will be internal company use.
What kind of "service endpoints" do companies put on office maps, in your experience?

Ciao Philippe,
I second what Ben said.
One of our client uses this approach for indoor contruction work mapping on the field using iPad as client devices.
The source data is DWG from autocad which gets ingested into SQL Server through batch imports.
The client app is web-based and uses OpenLayers with support for WMS and WFS + custom code.
